Re: How much do you spend on your mobile phone plan?
I pay between $180-200 US a month for 3 smart phones, unlimited text, calls and I think 3 gigs of data. I feel I 'm getting ripped though.

Re: Your favourite British Seaside Town
I lived in Kent for 8 years and I was quite partial to the funkiness of Whitstable and enjoying a pot of whelks doused in vinegar. First time I had seen brown sea water though.

Re: Jerry Collins killed in crash
Here I was going blithely about my Friday work day and then I read this.
It feels like I've been punched in the guts and nobody around me will understand why.
Rest in Peace Jerry and Alana. Thanks for the rugby memories Hitman. You were one of the true characters of this wonderful game.

what's the current situation with Brizzle's ground? Do the Gas Heads still own it - do they have their ownership now?

Re: The Chokeathon part 2 - Wuss - Brizzle - SS1 7:45pm
For Brizz to go up do they need to beat Worc by more than a point or are there other parameters at play?

Thanks. Sounds more thrilling than the score line reflectsOhNo wrote:3 all
If it is a one point advantage to Brizz at the end do they play extra time or is it based on away points scored/tries etc?
